This book was released on 1972-12-15 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Zealand upper house, the Legislative Council (which bore a marked resemblance to its Canadian counterpart the Federal Senate) was abolished in 1950 in an action which represents one of the most clear-cut examples of pragmatic politics in New Zealand history. It was abolished by the essentially conservative National party (fundamentally committed to the bicameral principle), while the Labour party (formally committed to abolition) at first obstructed and then merely stood on the sidelines. New Zealand thus became the only democratic country in the world without either an upper house or a formal written constitution of any consequence. The author attempts both to explain this unusual development and to assess its consequences. The generally accepted view that the Legislative Council failed in 1892 is challenged, and the causes of the decline and failure are traced back to circumstances surrounding its original establishment in 1854. Subsequently, developments since 1950 are examined in the light of abolition. The author concludes that abolition represented the right policy undertaken for the wrong reasons and that ultimately it has made a greater contribution to constitutional change in the twenty years since 1950 than the chamber itself made in the last fifty years of its existence. The New Zealand Legislative Council, an analytical historical study of an institution, throws valuable light on the strengths and weaknesses of the bicameral principle and the consequences of abolishing a second chamber of Parliament. The book should prove useful to Political Science and History courses dealing with Commonwealth Parliamentary government, comparative institutions and constitutional law. It should also appeal to all those interested in the question of bicameral representation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this remarkable book, the fruit of thirty years' research, events which are among the most important, the most controversial and the least understood in our history are examined by a distinguished New Zealand scholar who is also a humane realist. Like von Ranke, the great German historian, Harld Miller believes that the business of the historian is simply to describe what happened, including, of course, what people thoughts as well as what they did, not to sit in judgment on the past or foretell the future. He interprets this dictum to mean, not that the historian must refrain from making moral judgments about the events he describes, but that he must try to keep facts and comment seperate and easily distinguishable, and make a determined effort to prevent his theories from influencing his choice of facts. Readers of Race Conflict will find that he succeeds admirably. Harold Miller's able handling of a wealth of contemporary material, his scholarship and insight and his forceful masculine style make this book essential reading, not only for the student, but for all New Zealanders who seek a better understanding of Pakeha and Maori today through a knowledge of the past." --BOOK JACKET.
